Each morning I wake up and say 'yes' I want to go to work.

Before I came to Workplace I was not very happy with the jobs I was doing. I worked in factories, cafés and shops and they were not well paid.

One was outside of London and I would leave at 5.30 in the morning as travelling could take three to four hours a day. After a year, I decided I wanted to work nearer to home. I contacted Job Centre Plus and they suggested I go to Workplace to get help with my CV.

A really nice man interviewed me. He asked me what I wanted my future to be. My mother and father were engineers in construction at home in Lithuania. I told him I would like to work in construction too.

Workplace paid for me to go on a two-week Information Technology Qualification Course (ITQ) specialising in construction industry administration. I learnt very quickly and my tutor was impressed with me. Now I have a job I enjoy. It's changed my life.
